Point a WordPress chatbot at your own self-hosted LLM
SleekAI adds an AI chatbot for Self-Hosted LLM to your WordPress site. It answers from the content you choose, such as posts, pages, custom post types, post meta, taxonomies and user data, with your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or OpenRouter key.
Keep the model and the prompts on your own boxes
Most WordPress AI plugins force you through their hosted relay or a hard-coded list of providers. That means the prompt, the visitor question, and the answer all transit a third-party server before they reach the model you actually wanted to use. For regulated industries, internal portals, and any team that already runs vLLM, Text Generation Inference, or llama.cpp behind a load balancer, that detour is a non-starter.
SleekAI treats any OpenAI-compatible endpoint as a first-class provider. Drop the base URL of your inference server into the provider settings, paste the API key you minted on your own gateway, pick a deployed model name like llama-3.1-70b-instruct or qwen2.5-72b, and the bot starts answering.
Because the request hits your server directly from WordPress, no Sleek-hosted proxy sits in between. Auditors get a single source of truth and your inference bill stays on the cloud account you already have a contract with.
Features
OpenAI-compatible base URL
The provider field accepts any HTTPS endpoint that speaks the OpenAI chat completions schema.
No vendor relay
Every chat request goes from WordPress straight to your inference server. Prompts, system instructions, and conversation history never touch a Sleek-controlled host, which keeps the audit trail short and clean.
Per-bot model overrides
Run a Llama 3.1 70B bot on docs, a smaller 8B on the marketing site, and a fine-tuned variant in staging – all pointing at different deployment names on the same self-hosted gateway from one WordPress install.
Where teams point SleekAI at their own LLM
Regulated industries
Finance, health, and government sites that cannot send prompts to a US-hosted SaaS run inference on a self-hosted box and use SleekAI as the WordPress front door.
ML platform teams
Internal platform teams already run vLLM or TGI for other apps. SleekAI lets the WordPress marketing site reuse the same gateway instead of standing up a separate provider account.
Model evaluation
Swap base URLs to compare a fine-tuned model against a stock checkpoint on real visitor traffic.
Wire SleekAI to your own LLM in four steps
Stand up the endpoint
Deploy vLLM, TGI, llama.cpp, or LiteLLM in front of your model on a box you control.
Pick a model
Store your OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or OpenRouter key once in the shared AI settings, or add a compatible endpoint, and choose the chatbot’s model.
Map your data
Choose the posts, fields, taxonomies or users the bot should know and reference them in the instruction.
Set display conditions
Decide which pages, post types, roles or logged-in states show the chatbot.
Why self-hosted matters for WordPress chat
Self-hosting an LLM used to mean running a research notebook and praying. In the last two years vLLM, Text Generation Inference, and LiteLLM turned that into a normal piece of infrastructure that a platform team can deploy in an afternoon.
The result is that more and more companies have a perfectly good internal model serving other apps while their WordPress marketing site is still sending visitor questions to a SaaS chatbot. That is a sourcing mismatch, a security mismatch, and a cost mismatch all at once.
The model your CISO already approved is sitting idle while a separate vendor is metering your traffic. SleekAI fixes that gap by treating any OpenAI-compatible endpoint as a normal provider. The same WordPress install that runs your blog and your pricing page can talk to the inference cluster your platform team already operates.
Prompts and conversations stay inside the perimeter, billing consolidates, and the audit trail is one database table instead of three vendor dashboards. For regulated industries this is often the only path to shipping a chatbot at all. For everyone else it is just cleaner architecture.
Frequently asked questions
Does SleekAI require an internet round trip to a Sleek server?
No. When you configure a custom base URL, WordPress sends the chat completion request directly to that URL. There is no Sleek-hosted relay, proxy, or telemetry hop between your visitor and your inference server. The only outbound dependency is whatever endpoint you choose to point at.
Which self-hosted runtimes are known to work?
Anything that exposes an OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint. That includes vLLM, Text Generation Inference, llama.cpp server, LM Studio, LocalAI, Ollama, and most inference gateways like LiteLLM, Portkey, and Helicone in proxy mode.
Can I run different models per bot on the same install?
Yes. A 70B model can serve docs while an 8B handles the marketing pages.
How does authentication to my LLM gateway work?
Most teams put LiteLLM or Portkey in front of their cluster and mint per-tenant keys there.
Which AI providers does it support?
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and OpenRouter, plus custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints. You bring your own API key and the provider bills you directly.
Where does the chatbot get its answers?
From the WordPress data you map into its instruction: post titles and content, post meta, ACF and Meta Box fields, taxonomies, terms, users and user meta, or a WP_Query. Values resolve on every request.
Can it act on a visitor’s behalf?
No. A chatbot answers questions.
Can I control where the chatbot appears?
Yes. Display conditions cover post type, post, post status, post template, taxonomy, term, user role, logged-in state and WordPress conditional tags such as front page, archive, search and 404.
